Starting Rice Cereal

Monday, OCTOBER 6, 2008

Tonight we gave Ben his first taste of Rice Cereal. We put two tablespoons in his bottle before bedtime. I must say he really liked it. I hope this will help him start consistantly sleeping through the night. I weighed him today (as best I could) and I think he weighs around 18 pounds! Can you believe it? He will turn 4 months old this coming Friday... on his Uncle Thomas's birthday. Wish us luck that there is truth to everyone telling us Rice cereal will help him sleep. :-)

My Aunt Niki Loves Me!

Monday, October 6, 2008

Aunt Niki bought Ben his first pumpkin shirt. Thank You Aunt Niki! The only really good shot I got of him was in his changing table on the pack n play. I also got a shot of him when Mom was holding him. Yes, I've already bought his Haloween costume.... but you MUST WAIT. I will post some pictures of him in his costume closer to Haloween (and whenever I get enough time to get him dressed and have the camera ready). But for now, this SUPER CUTE shirt will be great for him to wear all month.


Stroller



So now that it's getting a little chilly in the mornings, I'm having to bundle up the baby. We had a nice stroll in his new umbrella stroller. We also sit out on the deck on most mornings and I keep his little Pooh hat on him. What a charmer!

Alabama Good Luck Charm

Saturday, October 3, 2008

I knew it. Ben is the lucky charm for the Crimson Tide! Ben LOVES to watch football with his Dad. In turn, Michael loves to watch football with his son and get a few laughs in too. Here is a shot of Michael trying his Alabama cap on the baby. TOO CUTE.



Grandparents Visit

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27

Ben got a visit from his grandparents this weekend! I don't know who was more excited, Ben or my Mom and Dad. We had lots of fun singing, squealing, laughing and bouncing Ben on our knees (riding the pony). Here are a few of my favorite snapshots of the weekend.
